The breathability is great as well. One thing i did notice that OMM have got rid of is the hood stow away strap - not a biggy but i did like that on the previous incarnation. when i contacted OMM about it they said that it was taken off purely to save weight. That said, all in all its a great jacket.

Have subsequently run with the hood over the cap which stops the hood flapping around but only serves to point up the design issue with the hood. I do recall for one Montane jacket it was recommended that you wear a cap under the hood as the hood had no peak so perhaps this design approach has been retained.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15386457632784402960noreply@blogger.com
